Keurig coffee maker? Isn't that fake espresso? And decaf? Child... you might as well just drink some water in the morning. Espresso as far as I am concerned is like a taco -- it must be made outside of the home, preferably on a La Marzocco Strada machine.

Now seriously, Miss P makes the best pot of coffee in the world.

Caffeine and insomnia don't seem to go well together.

And no, the Keurig coffee maker in not an espresso maker.Did you forget what I do for a living?It's all wholesale for us.

There ARE very good home espresso makers available but unfortunately the best ones are quite pricey.We sold a few of them to some wealthy customers.$2500.00

While I would never consider such a purchase (even at wholesale), there are those who want a good cup of espresso without having to step outside of there mansions.

from San Antonio's own Brown Coffee Company, a place Guilhermina has certainly never been to. I now expect him to drive over there today and taste "real" coffee and report back to us, preferably with photo documentation.

Never heard of this place. But their new location on Broadway is Mere blockstm from me! But it seems I missed their soft opening this morning

Which is why I don't drink anything with caffeine late in the day, certainly never in the evening. Two cups of coffee in the morning and that's generally it. I drink a lot of water instead.

Lightweight! 2 cups of caffeine a day?? LMAO. I start with 2 cups of coffee then continue the day with a pitcher or 2 of Iced Tea then throw in a Margarita at Happy hour then have a green tea before bed.

you forgot to add trazodone to your list to counteract previously mentioned indulgements.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Awesome. I'm now reading that Filthydelphia's Rittenhouse Square is getting a branch of NYC East Village's Luke's Lobster coming soon. I'll soon be able to decide if their $15 lobster roll is as good as the Oyster House's $26 one.

I think I will now go bathe my pussycat, because it smells, and sashay up to Rittenhouse to see what's available at the Di Bruno cheese counter. Unfortunately I just missed the weekly farmer's market because they close at 2 PM.

Oh, I was raised on pork chops always having gravy. In fact, other than my mother's meatballs it was the most gravy-fied meal in our house, and she still makes them that way. I do love them like that with white rice. If I have gravy I must have rice.

Do you folks make meatballs with gravy? Whenever I go home it's my "welcome home" meal because it was my favorite as a kid, and it's also the favorite meal my mother makes from both of my nieces who are now college age.

I just grill pork chops with minced garlic and sometimes a dab of Dijon, though lately I've been craving Bķn Thịt Nướng

It's not a must to have gravy with fried Pork Chops however if you do not have gravy then you have to have mashed potatoes to dip the pork chop in. THIS IS LAW people.

and what kind of gravy do you have with meatballs? thats very peculiar.

The same generic southern brown gravy that you make with chicken fried steak and/or pork chops. My mother got the meatball thing from my grandmother, and I agree in the Southern context it's not something I've seen outside of our family. They're really delicious though and I can't imagine that you'd not like them. Kind of like Swedish meatballs but larger, and with a Southern twist. Texas is sooooo fake Southern.

We had applesauce with fried pork chops more often than gravy, but maybe that is just too brady bunch. Yes usually with white rice.Jeepers all the boring cooking I grew up eating. My mom didn't like canned gravy so we pretty rarely had gravy with anything as she was too lazy to make it. When we kids starting cooking the last thing we'd venture was gravy. Just more bland meals like mom used to make. It wasn't tasteless however... Basic food does taste good enough if its fresh and not overcooked. There's always ketchup, different mustards, and horseradish. That was about it for the condiments. No soy sauce. Steak Sauce. Tobasco. Eek god no! Spicy? The horror. Butter.

Ooooooooooooooooh. Lobster roll. Yes, please. Right away, please. Haven't had a good one since Ruby Foo's shut down in Jurassic times. Ex-wife made them great too. But oh, the price was high.

I would kill for a good Lobster Roll , and yes the price of ingredients for seafood dishes impacts the joy of having it . I cant count the times I have shopped for the ingredients for bouillabaisse just to chicken out before I got to the register .

Looks like some tasty baked goods there. All I had this morning was a cup of yogurt and a banana, as I got up at 5:30 AM to go to the gym, and then arrived at work at 7:00 AM for endless meetings until 11:30 AM (trying to name a new product is apparently very difficult for the marketing folks). Barely had time to make a cup of tea at work to go with my yogurt / banana. That's life in the working world.

Yes .... they are a bit bigger than fried okra , very strange in texture . They wont last because they are really horrible tasting and beyond fake . This is coming from a guy (me) who had an 87 cent TV dinner for breakfast and liked it .

I hated every thing I just scarfed down from Mcdees .... its a mere block away and I was hungry after my long nap . I ate a double quarter pounder , a large fry and all those nasty fish things . I had to make sure they were as bad as I thought before doing my review here , so I ate em all .
